I was supposed to practice for one more day and then hit the road. I wasn't sure what to do. I sent a text to Alex Dreiling, our IMAC Southwest Region Director. He said to bring it over and we'll fix it. Awesome!!

Here's a picture of the damage from the outside.



Alex started by removing the exposed foam where the color coat had been ripped off and taped across all the cracks.



Then he ironed some Econokote on the outside of the plane at low temperature.



Then Alex moistened one side of a sheet of 1/64" ply and we taped that on top of the Econokote. This was intended to provide the shape of the outside of the fuselage.
